Identities for sin(x) that came from medical imaging

The article describes interesting nonlinear differential identities satisfied by standard exponential and trigonometric functions, which appeared as byproducts of medical imaging research. They look like some kind of non-commutative binomial formulas. A brief description of the origin of these identities is provided, as well as their direct algebraic derivation. Relations with separate analyticity theorems in several complex variables and some open problems are also mentioned.
